Anybody know of a resource that would list the setback for various
brands/models of seatposts? I have a new bike and a new high-zoot seatpost
that would allow me to put my saddle where I want it, but am still
entertaining alternatives.

P.S. I need at least 2 cm of seatback (measured from the centerline of the
seattube to the center of the saddle rail clamp - that's assuming that all
clamps are the same, which they aren't). Anybody know if the Deda

Blackstick

A bit on the expensive side, but the X-Lite Clickon seatpost gives 27mm of
setback. You can see it at: http://www.wallbike.com/seatposts/cnc7075.html.
They seem to out of stock on some sizes right now. Wallingford Bicycle is a
very good dealer as well.

Bontrager's new post is listed as 20mm setback. I'm pretty sure that's
center to center.

Couple observations:

1. The length of seat rail the clamp occupies is pretty small, so
there is lots of room for fore-and-aft saddle adjustment.

2. I've also used it with the offset forward. The clamp's infinite
angle adjustment helps here. Helpful for a far forward saddle
position.

3. I've also used it "upside down", with the rails below the bolt.
Helpful when the seat tube of the frame is a touch too tall.

Andy,

Albert Bold makes custom Ti seatposts that are well under 200 grams, and
have as much setback as you want.

I was just over at his house for dinner.

Hi, take a look at the Easton seatposts, the EC70 has 25mm of setback,
and the EC90 has 23mm.

The American Classic posts have only 15mm of setback, but the very
thin top clamp allows a LOT of adjustment (I'm kind of amazed at how
far back I can move the saddle on my MTB using an AC post)..

Other posts with 20+mm...

Alpha Q: 25mm
Campy: 25mm
Deda Black Stick: 25mm
FSA K-Force: 35mm
FSA SL-220: 35mm
Nitto Triathlon S66: 50mm (kind of ugly, but hey...)
Oval Concepts: 28mm
Profile Design Fast Forward: 40mm (oops, wrong way)
Race Face Evolve and XY: 25mm
Ritchey (all of 'em): 20mm
Salsa (ditto): 23mm

Add the Selcof Biposition to your list

http://www.selcof.com/eng/sella_a5.html

The first position gives you 18mm setback and the second position gives you
32.5mm setback.

Two seatposts with better than average setback that I have in my possession:

Selcof Biposition - the clamp goes in two alternate positions, with the
rear position giving 32mm of setback.

FSA SL-220 - about 28mm of setback

The Selcof comes in either black or silver; the FSA is black only. They
both use two bolt clamps, but the FSA is more easily adjustable as both
front and rear bolts take a 4mm allen key, whereas the Selcof uses a 5mm
allen key on the rear bolt and an 8mm open-ended spanner on the front bolt.

And don't overlook the LOOK ergopost.
